Ernest Herbert Bodell (17 August 1928 – 16 October 2003) was an Irish cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium bowler.

He made his debut for Ireland in a first-class match against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in September 1954. He went on to play for Ireland on six occasions; four further first-class matches against Scotland, the last of which came in June 1959, and a non-first-class match against the MCC at Lord's in August 1957.

As a managing director of Guinness brewery he was at the forefront of business in Ireland ranging from his involvement with Guinness and Murphy's brewery, to the fishing community.[citation needed]

Bodell was married to "Mo" and was father to three daughters, Jane, Olga, and Phillipa, and later a grandfather to eleven children.[citation needed]
